This team is 8-7 since the big trade with wins over Boston and Detroit. Big progress being made here. Unfortunately they are going to have to win 60% of their remainder to sneak in to that #8 seed unless other teams ahead of them really fall apart.

my only goal for this years bobcats team is to get to .500 (or close to it). that would be awesome... But then again... i wouldn't be surprised if the #8 team gets into the playoffs with a sub .500 record.

The East is a whole lot better this year and the Bobs have played a ton of home games already. They are improved and you have to like next year's team's potential, but it is not going to happen this year.
